Yep - a gas ban basically bans major parts of various cultures. But also even for typical recipes, you can’t do things like tilt a pan to use the flame to heat different parts differently.

As for environmental costs - the thing that surprises me is that induction easily warps even higher end pans. But yes you’re right, you can’t use many different materials.

Gas stove is a modern invention. Culture will be fine with other ways to heat the pan.
